There’s a really easy approach, or you might call this dilemma a workaround. What you need to do is briefly modify the position of your device. Log out and log back into your account. Then, again, change your venue.
It appears to work with many users to perform these actions and they can now see the Cortana Search bar back in the colour it used to be earlier. No, with that much detail, we’re not going to leave you high and dry, so here are the steps you need to do:
Step 1: Go to Setup > Time & Language > Language & Area.
Step 2: Now, from the Drop Down menu, select another country. (The area where Cortana is actually unavailable.)
Step 3: Lock your account window and sign off.
Step 4: Re-log into your account. You must have solved the Color Search Bar problem now.
Step 5: Do step 1 again, then change your country’s position again.
That’s all you need to do to address the issue of adjusting the Cortana search bar hue. We are not sure whether this is a bug from the side of Microsoft or whether they have deliberately changed the tone. This is just a workaround.
